Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy Holiday! I did a little painting and more quilting on the Hawaiian piece. It’s almost done.

And the other day, this tree closer to home caught my eye!

I used my heavy hand dyed cotton ArtFabrik thread to create the tall grasses. And of course, my signature is hiding in there somewhere…

Be well and eat a lot of whatever is yummy!

Don’t be shy! Come and join my:

My New Facebook Group

Oh and before I forget- I have a new Facebook Group called Joyful Art Quilting. You can head on over there to discuss your projects in more detail and see what others are up to. It’s a fun, non-judgmental place to meet and share. Here’s the link to go join the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1507846232658642/

Note: I have been FB friends with Nina Marie Sayre for a long time, and I am finally getting around to linking up to her Off The Wall Friday blog. She also writes a terrific art quilting blog, and links it up to other art quilters out in quilty land. So here is her link: please check her out! http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/.

WANNA TAKE A LIVE CLASS WITH ME?

If you want to take a class with me- CALL ME at 919-602-2260. I can teach for a small group of your friends, like I did a while back for my friend Joyce Marks and her quilting buddies. We had a blast and I tailored the classes to her group’s interests.

And you can always take an online class with me- see below!

For all you online class junkies, I am offering a new class online: Painted Morning Glory

YOU CAN ENROLL ANY TIME AND MOVE AT YOUR OWN PACE.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to paint details for depth and realism on your quilts?

If the answer is yes, read on. My popular Painted & Fused Morning Glory class is going to be offered online to the general public for the first time. I have taught this class many times and each time I’m awed at the fabulous results everyone gets, with each flower being slightly different.

This class is open for registration now and starts January 1 and is only $39.00!

And you can do it at your own pace in your own house, in your jammies, without running around. All lessons will be available to you at the same time, in case you get inspired and want to work fast.

I hope you will enjoy this fun class, it will remind you of Spring in the middle of Winter!

And, you will learn all the techniques I used to paint my latest landscape art quilt….

Would you like to work with me one on one? Maybe you would like to make original work, show it and perhaps sell it?

This has actually happened for my client Susan!

Susan has just let me know, she sold this quilt! Congratulations, Susan!

One of my private clients, Susan, has had her quilt, “Nature Takes Back Her Own”, that was accepted into the prestigious Houston IQA World of Beauty Show.

As part of our work together, I coached her on the making of this quilt. She was able to realize her vision to design, make and get her art quilt into one of the best shows in the world! How about you, are you ready???

YOU CAN DO THIS TOO! REALLY!

Look into my 6 month Private Coaching Masterclass!

I have extended my private coaching program, from 3 months to 6 months. I believe the transformation my students are looking for must take place over a longer period of time to have a lasting impact.

I want you to make the most amazing, original art quilts that you can. That is why I am now accepting private students who are serious about their creative expression in the world of art quilting. Take advantage of my 17+ years as a textile artist, and speed up your learning curve.
